PUSHIN' NINETY

I was born as Virginia Doris Keziah Bathurst. The Keziah is a bible name I inherited from my grandma. The Doris was from my aunt. When I was born in 1923 they didn’t require a birth certificate. I didn’t get a certicficate until I went to work for SAC Air Force Base when it was in Ogden, Utah. My father got it for me and for some reason the two middle names were left out.

Years later, when I went to work fo the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, it was required that your maiden name initial appear on your Social Security Card. Well, since I was married then, I’ve been Virginia Bathurst Beck ever since.
